Nativity Clipart 4Completed by Gwyneth George

Together with one of the images from the Nativity Clip Art I used: Main background - cup47865_359; Panel background - cup298593_1514; Frame - cup215485_831; ribbon - cup54409_359; Holly and poinsettia - cup343832_49; Template for card - cup340368_1740; Template for pillow box - cup58785_359. I took the elements I wanted to use into one of my graphics packages and firstly built up my design. This was then copied and used with both the templates, making a separate copy of the holly and poinsettia on each page. I printed out both designs onto 300gsm Super Smooth cardstock, cut each piece out, and then put them onto the back of a Crafty Bob mouse mat to score around the curved lines of the pillow box using a small ball tool. I scored the straight edges against a ruler. After folding the pillowbox was stuck together using Template Tape and the corner motif of holley and poinsettia was shaped and stuck on using glue gel.

These are cute images that will work well on brighter card designs, but for this example I wanted to show that they work just as well on a slightly more "vintage" looking colour scheme.
